2004 Acura MDX

Bottom Line:

The popular MDX sport-utility vehicle just keeps getting better.
Pros:
  • More power and safety items
  • Roomy
  • Good ride and handling
Cons:
  • Mediocre fuel economy
  • Tight third-row seat

Changes to the latest version of the Acura MDX sport-utility vehicle promise to help it maintain its considerable popularity.

The 2004 model gets revised styling, more power and additional safety features, although its third-row seat area is best suited to diminutive occupants.

The all-wheel-drive MDX is from Honda's upscale Acura division and has been a hit since introduced for 2001 because it's above-average in most respects and is loaded with equipment.

Car-like
The 7-passenger MDX is more car-like than truck-like with such features as an all-independent suspension because it shares its basic design with Honda's Pilot sport ute and is based on the Honda Odyssey minivan platform.

Forget serious off-road driving because there's no low-range gearing with the all-wheel-drive setup, whichdoes let the MDX normally cruise in front-wheel-drive mode to save fuel.

Added for the 2003 model were an optional DVD entertainment system and a rearview television camera that shows what's behind when backing up, along with a new engine with 20 additional horsepower.

Sportier Look
The latest version gets a sportier look, with a more tapered front fascia, redesigned front bumper with a new spoiler and revamped headlight treatment with a more angular design and projector beam headlights. The rear fascia has new taillights and dual exhaust tips. Brushed metal-look instrument panel trim helps dress up the interior

A new tire-pressure monitoring system uses sensors in the valve stem of each wheel to alert a driver via an indicator when pressure in one or more tires falls significantly below the recommended level. Also new are head-protecting side-curtain airbags for all three rows of seats in case of a side collision or rollover.

More Power
A dual exhaust system increases horsepower of the smooth 3.5-liter V6 to 265 from 260, besides adding more torque and lowering emissions.

Equipment levels significantly affect list prices. The base MDX costs $36,400 and has enough equipment to satisfy most buyers. The $39,000 Touring version adds such items as a front power passenger seat and higher-line sound system.

Prices top the $40,000 mark to cost $41,200 with a navigation system and rearview camera and go to $42,700 with a navigation system and DVD player.

Responsive Transmission
The sophisticated V6 works with a responsive 5-speed automatic transmission with a first gear that has extra pulling power to start with heavy loads and a high top gear for quiet highway cruising.

The MDX has lots of power and weighs a hefty 4,451 pounds. Fuel economy thus is only an estimated 17 mpg in the city and 23 on the highway. Moreover, premium fuel is required.

Fun to Drive
The MDX is fun to drive. Acceleration is strong, and the fast steering is nicely weighted. Handling is very good as long as you don't try to drive as if in a Porsche Cayenne sport ute. Helping stability are a low center of gravity, front and rear stabilizer bars, large 17-inch wheels and a wide track.

Stability is enhanced by a Vehicle Stability Assist system. That system works with the all-wheel-drive system and electronic "drive-by-wire" throttle control system to provide enhanced control during acceleration, cornering and braking. The brake pedal has a linear feel, and stopping distances are short during moderately hard braking.

Easy Entry
It's easy to get in and out with the low floor, and there's plenty of room in the first and second rows of seats. The tight third-seat area is hard to reach, although the second-row seat now slides forward more to make it easier to enter or leave that area.

Occupants sit high in the quiet interior, which has supportive front seats. Gauges are backlit even during the day for quick reading, and the large, nicely placed controls are easily used. There are plenty of cupholders, and doors have storage pockets.

There isn't much cargo room in the quiet, upscale interior with the third seat in its upright position. Second- and third-row seats fold flat to the floor for a large cargo area.

The refined MDX has a lot going for it, but it faces formidable new rivals such as the BMW X3 and Volkswagen Touareg.

Acura TSX Sport Wagon on the way out?

Fri, 07 Jun 2013

With Acura widely expected to consolidate its TSX and TL sedans into one model line in the near future, the fate of the TSX Sport Wagon is unsurprisingly in doubt. The long-rumored one-for-two sedan replacement is said to be dubbed TLX, and will sit above the Honda Civic-derived ILX, a model that already encroaches on the TSX's pricing and size. According to Ward's Auto, Acura officials are refusing to confirm that today's TSX wagon - effectively a re-schnozzed European-market Accord estate - is facing extinction. Reading the tea leaves, however, things certainly don't look good - the European Accord itself is said to be on the bubble and may not be replaced.
The TSX Sport Wagon was brought to the US as a niche play for the 2011 model year, with Acura of Canada taking a pass on the bodystyle. Officials said at the time that it hoped to shift 4,000 units per annum, roughly a 10-percent sliver of US TSX sales. And while Acura doesn't normally break out the wagon in its sales reports, Autoblog was able to obtain the model's totals for the last two years: the company sold 3,210 Sport Wagons in 2011, improving to 4,234 units last year. The current 2013 model began trickling into showrooms in December, but some dealers are still looking to clear out remaining 2012 models at handsome discounts.

2015 Acura TLX launch delayed

Tue, 22 Apr 2014

Last week in New York, Acura pulled the wraps off its all-new TLX sedan - a midsize model that replaces both the TSX and TL in one fell swoop. In a bit of behind-the-scenes full disclosure, we were originally scheduled to get our first drive of the car in early May. But an intrepid reader forwarded us an email to Acura dealers saying that the on-sale date of the TLX will be pushed back, and subsequently, the automaker confirmed to Autoblog that the official media launch has been postponed, as well. Acura spokesperson Chuck Schifsky tells us that the 2015 TLX will now go on sale later this summer.
"We don't view it as a major delay," Schifsky told Autoblog. The TLX is "the most technologically advanced Acura" yet - even more so than the original NSX, Schifsky says - and thus, there are "lots of systems to get sorted out." When asked if there is a specific component to point to regarding this delay, Schifsky told Autoblog that it's "not any one thing."
"We have determined that it is necessary to modify the production schedule for the 2015 TLX, which will move the on-sale date to late summer."
